The Lawson Ministry was the 41st ministry of the Government of Victoria. It was led by the Premier of Victoria, Harry Lawson, and consisted of members of the Nationalist Party. The ministry was sworn in on 21 March 1918[1] following the resignation of John Bowser's short lived ministry. In September 1923 Lawson formed a coalition government with the Country Party. However, this coalition only lasted until March 1924, after which Lawson formed a minority Nationalist government.[2] Shortly afterward in 1924, Lawson's government was defeated and succeeded by new Nationalist Leader Sir Alexander Peacock's government.
